Mission of Hope

"Mommy, I had a great day today."

You were amazing today. You helped deliver Christmas joy to a lot of kids in Scott County. I love that you held hands with each and every child with whom you shopped. You told them about the available toys. "Here some dress up stuff. You like poodle box?" Poodle box is Play Doh in case you don't remember calling it that.

What was my favorite part of the day? You got it. You didn't cry about not getting a toy for yourself. You simply enjoyed giving and sharing. At then end of the day I took you to the Disney Store so you could have a toy after a long morning of watching other kids get toys. A few hours later, you said, "Mommy I had a great day today." I asked why; I imagined that you were excited about your trip to the Disney Store. You replied, "I helped those kids get toys, Mommy."
